That article is a very long winded way of saying, yes - a small sample size can give results that are far from the mean. Flip a coin 5 times and you might get heads five times; does that mean the coin will always come up heads if you try the experiment again? No.
I see from the article that the reason she didn't want to try her technique on graphene was because the consensus of literature on the subject was that her technique couldn't possibly work.
If they're generating electricity from "solar, wind, and geothermal" it will be heavily subsidized by state and federal governments, probably around 50%.
That's not what scientific consensus means. "Consensus" is what happens when scientists are out of reasonable questions to ask about a theory because they have been tested and verified.
It could be because the theory has been tested and verified, or the consensus could be for some other reason (economics, political pressure, peer pressure, etc).
Obviously a lake is different than a river, but the lake ecosystem isn't necessarily messed up. The Great Lakes had the biggest obstacle of all blocking fish from migrating upstream (Niagara Falls). They were seriously messed up when the St. Laurence Seaway opened and allowed non-native species like lampreys and zebra mussels in.
I wouldn't say they're mutually exclusive. But you could argue that the goal of them is different (evidence to support the theory versus trying to convince by shouting louder).
A lot of suspicions were raised when petitions signed by "thousands of scientists" were held up as an argument that AGW must be true - after all, we have a consensus among all those thousands of scientists. But of course that consensus didn't mean any more than the consensus of the scientists who put Galileo in prison. In the case of AGW the consensus opinion might be correct, or not. It doesn't matter either way.
GP was no doubt referring to the fact that ACORN rebranded itself a few years ago after all the scandals broke. Action United, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, Action Now, etc. Same people on the payroll, same funding sources, same organization.
Speaking to the paper, the DC-10 plane's two co-pilots, Esko Kaukiainen and Markku Soininen, describe how a routine flight back to Helsinki from Japan in December 1987 suddenly took a dramatic and terrifying turn...”There’s no doubt it came from the Soviet Union,” Soininen said.
Almost all financial aid is already need based (income and savings). The big problem is that students (and parents) don't make rational decisions when it comes to taking out those loans. Instead of a modest priced state school and sharing an apartment with three other students (which worked for me), they send Junior to an expensive school and make sure he lives in a private dorm room.
His scam was to guarantee that you would win at the horse track if you took his advice; if you didn't win you didn't own him anything. Of course his picks weren't any better than the next guy's; he collected his share from half of his victims and walked away with nothing from the rest.
As I understand it, he's a fan of tying different disciplines together into one interconnected timeline (astronomy, geology, paleontology, anthropology, etc). It doesn't appear that he wants to bias the content so much as come up with a better/more interesting way of presenting it. Seems like a worthwhile goal to me.
The economics are changing back. Whaling ended because the big whales were pretty much wiped out; hunting them became too expensive when there weren't any to hunt.
I never understood why an object has a method that returns an interator instead of having the methods themselves. There might be a good reason, but it has always escaped me.
Many of the early Mayan and Aztec structures in Latin America have been "restored" in the name of tourism to make them more comfortable. Nicer steps, higher doorways, etc. They're not as well known as the Egyptian pyramids but every bit as historically significant.
Nope, in 1999 both houses of the Georgia legislature and the governor's mansion were controlled by Democrats. You can look it up
In 1998, Barnes ran for governor again, this time defeating Secretary of State Lewis A. Massey to win the Democratic primary.[9] Running on the themes of education reform and health care reform,[5] he defeated Republican businessman Guy Millner in the general election with a victory of 53% to 44% to become the 80th Governor of Georgia.[2][10]
The Democrats retained control of both houses of the legislature[11] and retained all but two state level offices
Think about what is going to happen in about two months. Why would the administration that hasn't done much of anything for the past five years be talking tough on consumer related issues now? Hint: First Tuesday in November.

Who gets medicine today? What's the impact of modern medicine on population?
Obviously you have never worked with HL7. One message will have hundreds, if not thousands of pieces of data.
That's true of all phones with a minimum contract period. But you are correct, 99 cent down payment and financed for two years.

Renewable should get just as much in tax credits and tax breaks as fossil fuels
They already do get that - plus a bunch more.
The logistics of connecting, charging, discharging, disconnecting enough batteries to make a difference seems very uneconomical.

I've had them for land line and DSL for years. No complaints about service or support - just my experience with them, YMMV.

How much would the state collect if they eliminated the income tax deduction for union dues? Seems fair that it goes both ways.

Safety tip: A gun (or cannon) is always loaded.
I'm guessing that if they need to do any spacewalks they'll keep an eye on that thing.

Why is anything historically significant? The Sun Temple at Teotihuacan is the third largest pyramid in the world.
